You Must Be Baptized to Be Saved

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19).

“He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mk. 16:16).

“Repent, and let every one of you is baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).

“Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16).

“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Gal. 3:27).

“There is also an antitype which now saves us–baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 3:21).

Can you deny it? Have you done it?
